Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans cells comparing control untreated C. albicans cells with sulfite-treated C. albicans cells. Sulfite is a toxic molecule that C. albicans encounters in its human host. Both wild type and ∆zcf2 mutant cells were used. The goal was to determine the effects of sulfite on C. albicans gene expression, and to determine which of the genes areZcf2-depedent.
Project description:The Candida albicans delta-doa1 mutant was investigated. This mutant shows lots of phenotypes. Doa1 protein has several WD 40 repeats. Keywords: mutant versus wildtype, comparative expression analysis
Project description:Goal: We employed RNA-seq to identify targets of regulation of the Candida albicans transcription regulator CUP9. The cup9 deletion mutant strain displays increased fitness in a mouse model of oropharyngeal candidiasis.
